Lightweight contender Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone (19-4-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC) will host a special question-and-answer session for UFC Fight Club members prior to weigh-ins for UFC 151.

UFC officials on Tuesday announced the session, which takes place Aug. 31 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, site of the UFC 151 pay-per-view.

Doors for the festivities open for UFC Fight Club members at 1 p.m. PT. The fan Q&A session begins one hour later at 2 p.m. and is followed by the official weigh-ins for UFC 151 at 4 p.m.

Doors for the weigh-ins open at 3 p.m. for the general public.

UFC 151 takes place Sept. 1 and airs live on pay-per-view, FX and Facebook. The main event is a light heavyweight title fight between champion Jon Jones and former Strikeforce and PRIDE champ Dan Henderson.

Cerrone recently got back into contender status with his second straight victory, a first-round knockout of former training partner Melvin Guillard (47-12-3 MMA, 11-7 UFC) at UFC 150. In May, Cerrone won a unanimous decision against Jeremy Stephens to get back in the win column following a disappointing loss to Nate Diaz at UFC 141 in December.

Cerrone’s loss to Diaz snapped his six-fight win streak and his shot at going 5-0 in the UFC to start his career in the promotion, all in 2011.

But with the KO of Guillard, which earned him both “Knockout of the Night” and “Fight of the Night” bonuses in the amount of $60,000 each, Cerrone put himself squarely back into lightweight title contention. Diaz on Dec. 8 challenges champion Benson Henderson at UFC on FOX 5, and all signs point to Cerrone getting a fight against former WEC lightweight champion Anthony Pettis, who currently is recovering from an injury. The winner of that fight may very well be the next top contender in the division.
